Biological monitoring is the means by which biological science is used to track, monitor, analyze and transform bodies into data. It is the extraction of DNA and microbes from the skin, nails, hair and body fluids. It is the analysis of the identifying parts of the body and the individual such as the face, voice, fingerprints and irises. It is the monitoring of life itself by body heat, pulse, sweating, bacterial flora and specific involuntary movement. It is the vulnerability that we are all confronted with every day by the very situation of being human, simply by having a body.
When genetic databases cover 2 percent of the population, nearly anyone can be identified.
